Its stunning how geographically incorrect that map is. I can't believe the MTA/NYCTA/whatever would ever approve such a map.

- floatingatoll 7y agoThat’s a topic of a lot of discussion by transit planners. For example: https://humantransit.org/2013/11/should-transit-maps-be-geographical-or-abstract.html https://humantransit.org/2013/11/should-transit-maps-be-geog... > The geographic map helps you locate yourself and points of interest in the city, but you need the structure map to understand how the system works.
